Tag Archives: President Trump

This morning I scanned the news and was amused by one commentary which went to great lengths to diagnose the mental conditions held by our new president. Just out of curiosity I checked his credentials and did not see a degree in psychology among them.

The President certainly is interesting. However, I believe it is foolishness to expect any president to be perfect. The common pattern of behavior by politicians is to present a façade of perfection. Therefore, the real choice is not between perfect and imperfect, but instead between transparent and guarded.

With transparency comes a sea of criticism, but at the same time there is the chance to understand the person as an individual. With a guarded persona comes an assurance they will always be professional in public, but at the same time you may never be able to understand or trust what they are doing in private.

Given those choices I am willing to accept the president who allows his true self to be seen, even though I don’t always endorse the character displayed.
